YEAST IN THE EAST

Yeast in the East is a crash course in sourdough bread-making. In this jam packed, 3.5 hour long workshop, you will learn the basics of all things yeasty. Suitable for beginners who want to learn about bread making from scratch or for people who dabble in baking and would like to know more about sourdoughs.

We will cover:- Ingredients and proportions- Yeasts! Sourdough, packet and fresh yeasts, plus how to make your own starter.- Long prove and sourdough breads, enriched & sweet dough- Stretching and folding, proving and shaping- Baking in a wood fired oven and a guide to baking in a home oven.

You will be taught our basic sourdough recipe. You will take home all you make in the session, which include doughnuts, middle eastern focaccia and a lavender sourdough for you to bake at home. There will also be a light dinner provided and some doughy snacks along the way (please let us know if you have any dietary requirements). This class is suitable for all ages. £37 per head (not including booking fee) class sizes of between 10 – 14 people. Bring your own bottle of booze to enjoy if you like!
